This is a really quick and effective way to make a favour box – just two tags score and folded at the bottom, butted together to make a tent shape. I used Kraft card stock and stamped in Crumb Cake with the swirly stamp from Baroque Motif, then used the Sanded background stamp in Cajun […]

Cupcakes
August has been such a busy month with birthdays and anniversaries, I’ve barely had a chance to take a breather and I am so behind too! I was late for this one, and used my newly acquired Cupcakes wheel to make this card for a little girl. It never occurred to me to purchase a […]
Fox & Friends amongst others
This is a card I made for my Brother-in-law. Most of the stamps I used here are from my personal collection – it’s easier to name the ones in the current catty! The front was stamped with a wood-grain effect and I punched a 1 3/4″ circle aperture to reveal the Chocolate Chip base underneath. […]
Circle of Friendship, Trendy Trees
It seems strange to be in my craft room creating as I haven’t stepped foot in it for almost the entire month! I have scheduled posts for practically the whole of August. I’ve come down with some sort of bug since Sunday with a raging temperature and now I’ve got a sore throat that feels […]

So if you follow my blog, whenever I refer to my personal collection, it means that it’s usually a Stampin’ Up! product that has been sent […]
Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge #34 – Sketch Challenge

A Get Well Card
This stamp set has been in my personal collection for ages and I don’t think it’s ever seen the light of day until now. I made this for a dear friend who is convalescing at home after keyhole surgery three weeks ago. I took my time with this one, as she’s a fellow crafter and […]
I {Heart} Hearts, Vintage Vogue
Baja Breeze, Bermuda Bay card stock (from my personal collection) and Soft Suede was the colour combo chosen for my darling daughter and her husband’s anniversary card. I only ever use these two blues for special occasions, but now I know that Baja Breeze is one of the colours in our new colour renovation I […]
